The term "Mahavite" is not well-documented, but it may refer to a specific clan or region, possibly linked to the Mahavites mentioned elsewhere in ancient texts. Eliel's inclusion highlights the diverse backgrounds of David's followers, emphasizing the unity and strength found in their shared loyalty to God's anointed king.<p><b>Jeribai and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam</b><br>Jeribai and Joshaviah are noted as sons of Elnaam, indicating a family lineage that contributed multiple warriors to David's cause. The mention of their father, Elnaam, suggests a family of some repute or standing, possibly known for their valor or loyalty. This familial connection underscores the importance of legacy and heritage in biblical narratives, where family lines often play significant roles in God's unfolding plan.<p><b>Ithmah the Moabite</b><br>Ithmah's designation as a Moabite is significant, as Moabites were traditionally seen as outsiders or even enemies of Israel. His inclusion among David's mighty men illustrates the breaking down of ethnic barriers and the acceptance of those who align themselves with God's purposes. This foreshadows the New Testament theme of the inclusion of Gentiles into the people of God, as seen in passages like <a href="/ephesians/2-11.htm">Ephesians 2:11-22</a>.
